History not kind when Walt Coleman refs Cowboys game

FRISCO, Texas -- For the first time since Week 2 of the 2014 season, the Dallas Cowboys will have Walt Coleman as the referee when they take on the Philadelphia Eagles in the season finale Sunday.

History has not been kind to the Cowboys with Coleman. This will be the eighth time Coleman has served as the referee, and the Cowboys have a 2-5 record, although they did beat the Tennessee Titans in their last game with Coleman.

There has been a wide disparity in the penalties, too. The Cowboys have been flagged 51 times for 377 yards, while their opponents have had 37 penalties for 277 yards.
